Coriander

Day 304  November 1st
I have given up trying to grow coriander. It goes to seed so quickly, and I use it so rarely that that a healthy young plant and and a recipe that calls for it don't often coincide. This plant however is thriving under a palm tree in ground that only hardy weeds usually grow in. A bird must have eaten some seeds before I gave upon the last plant and pulled it out.
Perhaps there is a lesson here. Maybe I should stop trying hard and be less methodical.  I could just make sure that there is lots of composted and well fed soil around and leave the rest to chance.  I would certainly get sweet potatoes, tomatoes and pumpkins. Someone has probably tried it and there will already be a name.
